In 2018 fitness app MyFitnessPal experienced a large-scale breach that affected 150 million users. Under Armour – the makers of the app became aware in February that an unauthorised party acquired data that was associated with MyFitnessPal user accounts. The stolen data included usernames, email addresses, and scrambled passwords for both the MyFitnessPal app and the website.
Once they became aware of the incident, Under Armour stated that it “quickly took steps to determine the nature and scope of the issue”. Also, it said that it was working with leading data security firms to help with the investigation as well as coordinating with law enforcement authorities. Users were given advice from Under Armour on how they can protect their data, but this could have been too little too late if their data has already been misused by the cybercriminals.

If you are one of the 150 million users who have been affected by the MyFitnessPal data breach then you are entitled to make a claim for compensation. Anyone whose personal data was part of the hack will have been notified by email that was sent to affected users by MyFitnessPal.
We can put you in touch with expert data breach solicitors who are putting together a collective group claim that will bring together the large number of MyFitnessPal users. If you are a MyFitnessPal user and received notification about involvement in the data breach, you are eligible to join our group claim.
Even though no financial information was disclosed compensation is still payable for any distress you may have experienced as a result of the data breach. The personal data that was accessed could lead to other fraudulent activity like phishing attacks and those that were affected might have suffered some anxiety about that.

We use dedicated data breach solicitors who have handled thousands of data breach claims
Bringing a data breach claim not only gets you access to compensation, but also holds a company or organisation to account for their actions. As a result, this will usually prompt them to take the necessary steps to boost their data security measures.
With enough information, cyber criminals could apply for credit in your name, set up fraudulent bank accounts and access your existing accounts. Even though bank details and home addresses were not exposed in this case, there is still a lot of information that can be collected from an email account. There are signs you can look out for which suggest your data has been stolen, these include:
Bills or emails showing goods or services that you haven’t purchased
Unfamiliar transactions or suspicious activity on your account
An unexpected dip in your credit score
Unsolicited communications that ask for your personal data or refer you to a web page asking for personal data
To protect yourself and your data from cybercriminals it is important to follow the guidance provided by MyFitnessPal if you think your information has been breached. In particular, change your password and avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
Keep in mind that data regulations mean that you have a right to compensation for non-material damage. This means those affected are entitled to compensation for the stress, frustration, and anxiety associated with the breach.
Our recommended experts will act for you on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning there is no risk to you in making a claim and nothing to pay in the unlikely event we take on your claim and you don’t win compensation. We can help you receive the maximum amount of compensation for your MyFitnessPal data breach claim, so if you’ve received notification about the data breach, or think that your personal data may have been part of the breach, be sure to start a claim with us today.
